Admission Process and Requirement

Bodhi International School welcomes students of all nationalities, religion, gender, beliefs and races, provided they meet academic and behavioral criteria set by the school.

Admissions open in December for the session that begins in March.

Admission can be sought in:

IB PYP- Kindergarten to Grade 5

Cambridge- Grade 6 to Grade 12

CBSE- Grade 9 & Grade 11

Parents must fill in a completed enquiry form, along with additional documents of proof of age and residence at the school's admission office. The other documents that are mandatory for students at the time of admission, other than Seedlings, are PEN Number, TC of the previous school, Adhar card or Passport for NRI students. The student, if applying to Early Years or Lower Primary, is granted admission through an interaction with the Coordinator and Principal and the rest of the students, on the basis of their performance in an admission test and availability of seats.

However students completing Middle School at Bodhi are enrolled into Senior School, in line with the school's promotion policy. Orientations are also conducted for families of students during the ongoing academic year. Career oriented psychometric assessments are conducted for students and individual sessions are arranged with the college counsellor, on the basis of students' aptitude, interests, course choices and college preferences.

New students attempt skill-based tests in English, Math and Science, besides the psychometric assessment. Academic records over the previous two years are reviewed by the Principal, in an interview conducted with the student family, after which a meeting is arranged with the coordinator and college counsellor.

The aim is for the family to understand aspects of the program, make informed subject choices, and also undertake an initial review of their course and college preferences. School allows admission from other schools during the session, provided the choice of subjects matches with the subjects offered at Bodhi. The procedure for seeking mid-term admission into Secondary School remains the same.
